Kona has a couple of new uses for a frisbee… Frisbee taco… Frisbee headrest… After that silliness we hope to get around to visit all our blog friends soon. Our schedule has been a little wacky and we haven’t been getting much time online these days so we apologize for not being around lately. We …

Kona-Birthday Hike
Kona sets out on his birthday hike at Wildwood Park in Ventura County. First part of the hike was up the Santa Rosa Trail to the summit of the hills. The view was pretty good even half way up and there were wildflowers and wild oats everywhere. Lots of water breaks, even on a partly …
Kona-Birthday Cake
Kona’s birthday cake. The sniff test. The preliminary tasting. A bigger taste. Nice teeth marks…every cake needs them. Enough with the formalities… getting the party started.
Raja-Remembering The Original Red Dog
In loving memory of Raja April 7, 1997 – March 1, 2006 Raja was an amazing Golden Retriever who taught me the most important things in life: play hard, love harder and enjoy the moment, each and every one of them. I have never met anyone who lived life better than Raja. Though thick and …
Kona-Before & After
It is 7 months today since Kona came to us as a foster dog. He quickly became a big part of our family and his transformation has been a joy to watch. This is Kona today… This was Kona the day he came to us… He was terrified of people (men especially), he had no …
How To Save A Life…Including Your Dog’s.
While on a hike this past weekend, we had a lesson in how fast a good time can quickly turn to an emergency, when you least suspect it. After hiking to the summit of some local mountains, we gave Kona a cookie for a snack . Being a dog, he inhaled it as fast as …
Remembering Spencer.
Its hard to believe that it was one year ago today that Spencer passed away from cancer. A lot has happened in that time…we’ve fostered numerous Golden Retrievers for rescue and last September we adopted a special boy named Kona, but not a day goes by that I don’t think of Spencer. Although we both …
Spencer-Remembering The Love.
In loving memory of Spencer March 1, 1998 – February 17, 2009 It is hard to believe it has been a year since we lost Spencer to cancer. I still laugh out loud when I think of some of his antics. He was an amazing dog who touched many other lives besides ours. An old …
Foster Updates
We thought we’d share some news we’ve recently gotten on some of our past fosters…. Sunny came to stay with us and Spencer and foster, Jessy, in March 2007. This 10 week old sweetie was full of Golden puppy energy. She and Jessy (4 months old) were a little Golden tornado whirling through the house …
Kona-Getting To Know Kona
Kona spent a nice Sunday with us as we got to know him better. We found out he loves tennis balls and he flips them around on his own if you don’t throw them for him. He’s very agile and extremely fast. He politely waits for you to throw the ball. He doesn’t mind hats. …
A Small Break
Hi everyone. Thanks for all your very nice comments on Titus’ adoption! We’ve heard report that he is doing very well and getting lots of love…no surprise there, with that cuddly bear look of his:) I’m going to take a small break from blogging to really focus and catch up on a few things at …
Titus- Adopted!
Today is one of those bittersweet days for fosters…Titus left us early this morning for his forever home up in Northern California. So while we are so very happy for him to find a family to love him, we are sad to see him leave our home. Titus holds the record of staying with us …

Ahh, that felt good! Ready for the day now.
Titus- Black & White
I’ve been studying black and white photography and thought I’d test out some shots with Titus. Titus is just as handsome in black & white as he is in color. You can’t hide true beauty.
Titus-Marrow Bones
Titus was very excited this evening. And this is why….fresh marrow bones from the butcher. Seasoned with a little olive oil and sea salt, they were ready for the grill. “Wait a minute….where’s mine?!?” The wait was worth it…. More please!
Remembering Spencer
It is 5 months today that we lost Spencer to hemangiosarcoma. There is not a day goes by that we don’t remember Spencer, sometimes with a few tears but mostly with a smile or laugh. This week was our 13th wedding anniversary and it made me remember the trip we took up to Carmel for …
Titus-2 months update
Today is Titus’ 2 month anniversary of being in our foster care. The search for his forever home continues and he is happily waiting for just the right family. Titus is a very gentle 2 year old and loves attention. I think he would be a very good candidate for a therapy dog. As long …
